The conference of parties-28 has reiterated the importance to reach the goals of reducing global temperature to the pre-industrial levels by the end of 2030 by cutting carbon footprint of every nation and also moving towards cleaner and efficient fuels and practices. According to the United Nations Environment Program, the construction industry consumes up to 50% of the planet's natural resources. Emissions and Air Quality: Manufacturing construction materials, especially cement, is energy-intensive and contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore it is imperative to adopt more environmentally feasible construction practices so as to cause the least impact to the environment and also not stalling development. Green building practices are a set of new codes practiced worldwide for the past decade towards fulfilling these goals. Green building encompasses innovative technologies and design methods which utilizes the available resources more efficiently and reduces consumption of limited natural resources. This study analyses the various aspects related to green buildings, how they are beneficial worldwide and also study the implications of execution. The study is conducted by descriptive analysis from a pool of data obtained from case study papers. The themes observed in the study are selected and the general criterions to be analyzed are finalized such as air quality, sustainable materials, renewable energy integration etc.
